Abstract

Sanitation of the residential environment, people in Paluh Sibaji village experience limited basic sanitation in the form of limited clean water facilities and minimal toilet facilities far from health requirements. Based on this, the community of Paluh Sibaji village is experiencing health problems related to environment-based diseases and stunting was found to be 60 cases of stunting in Pantai Labu sub-district in 2023. The methods used in handling the problem are atmosphere building, action diagnosis, socialisation, education and intervention to revitalise latrines and clean water sources in hamlet IV of Paluh Sibaji Village. The latrines and clean water sources that have been renovated have met the requirements of healthy latrines and clean water. Evaluation continues to be conducted regularly to improve and maintain the sustainability of the programme.

Abstract

Introduction: Inadequate livestock pen sanitation has been demonstrated to increase fly populations in the surrounding environment, thereby elevating the risk of diarrhea transmission among communities living in proximity to the pens. Additionally, wells constructed without adherence to proper construction standards have been associated with an elevated risk of water contamination, which, in turn, can lead to an increased incidence of diarrhea. The objective of this study is to ascertain the correlation between livestock pen sanitation, fly density, and well conditions with diarrhea incidence in the community of Aek Banir Village, Panyabungan Sub-District. Method: A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was utilized, involving 40 livestock owners as the sample, selected through total sampling. The collection of data was executed through the utilization of observation sheets, questionnaires, and fly grills. The analysis of the data was conducted using the chi-square test and Fisher's Exact Test. Results: The results indicated that 60.0% of livestock pens did not meet sanitation standards, 52.5% exhibited high fly density, 50.0% of wells were in poor condition, and 55.0% of livestock owners had experienced diarrhea. The chi-square test with Fisher's Exact Test indicated a significant relationship between livestock pen sanitation, fly density, and well conditions with the incidence of diarrhea. Conclusion: The present study posits that there is a relationship between livestock pen sanitation, fly density, and well conditions with diarrhea incidence in the community of Aek Banir Village, Panyabungan Subdistrict.

Abstract

Background: Air pollution is currently dominated by the transportation sector, which is the second-largest contributor after the energy sector in Indonesia. Its impacts not only damage the environment but also pose serious health risks. As an educated group, students need to take mitigation actions. This study aims to analyze the correlation between environmental knowledge and climate change mitigation efforts in the transportation sector among students of the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Sumatera Utara. Method: This research used an analytical survey design. The population consisted of 1,403 undergraduate students from the 2021–2024 cohorts, with a sample of 93 respondents determined using the Slovin formula and selected through accidental sampling. The inclusion criteria were students who owned private transportation. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods. Results: Most respondents were female (87.1%) and aged 20–22 years (68.8%), with monthly allowances ranging from Rp500,000 to Rp5,000,000. Motorcycles were the most common mode of transport (83.9%), used 5–6 days per week (71%), with 73.1% using Pertalite fuel. The average weekly travel distance was 78.494 km, with fuel consumption of 7.819 liters and a cost of Rp105,903.23. The mean annual CO₂ emission was 0.74784 tons, ranging from 0.038 to 2.89 tons. Students demonstrated good knowledge (87.1%) and attitudes (89.2%), but mitigation actions remained low (57%). Conclusion: Public Health students at Universitas Sumatera Utara possess good knowledge and attitudes toward climate change mitigation, yet their practical actions remain limited, such as not turning off vehicle engines when idling.

Abstract

Agricultural land around the Medan Industrial Estate (KIM) 3 is currently facing a serious threat from cadmium (Cd) contamination, which impacts food security. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Saccharomyces cerevisiae-fermented rice bran in suppressing the availability and accumulation of Cd in rice plants grown on Cd-contaminated soil. The treatments tested were P0 (control), P1 (100 g S. cerevisiae), P2 (125 g S. cerevisiae), and P3 (150 g S. cerevisiae), with each treatment mixed with 300 g rice bran and applied to 100 m2 of land cultivated with rice plants. The results showed that P3 was the most effective treatment for reducing Cd concentration in rice grain from 0.2 ppm to 0.010 ppm, below the Indonesian Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) threshold. The P3 treatment also significantly improved pH and the availability of N, P, and K nutrients of the soil, leading to better plant growth and grain yield. An effective immobilization mechanism that inhibits the translocation of metals into plant tissues makes this innovation a practical, economical, and applicable solution for farmers to restore land function while ensuring food security.

Abstract

Urban functional areas are currently facing waste and environmental problems due to increasing social and economic activities, urbanisation rates, and urban population growth. One effort to reduce household waste volume is the utilization of a waste bank. This research aims to analyze the relationship between waste bank utilization behaviour and the volume of domestic waste at the household level in Aur Village, Medan Maimun Sub-district in 2024. This type of research is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The sample in this study amounted to 40 people using the total sampling technique. Data analysis method in 2 stages: univariate analysis with frequency counts and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test and Spearman's correlation, with a significance level of α = 5% (0.05). The results showed that there was a significant relationship between housewives' knowledge (p = 0.003) and housewives' attitude (p = 0.02) with the behaviour of using the waste bank. There was no significant relationship with a positive pattern between the utilization of waste bank and domestic waste volume (r = 0.069) and (p = 0.673). This research provides the government with information on the use of waste banks to improve the program's effectiveness in reducing waste in the community. Furthermore, Non-Governmental Organizations can continue to provide education to improve customers' knowledge and attitudes, particularly in the area of waste management.
